Home Fruit Drying.

Fruit evaporators generally prove
a good investment. With them your
boy or girl can add many an odd
dime to the family fund. Mr.. M. Au.
ger said good word for small fruit
driers at a Connecticut State Board
meeting. They enabled his family to
save a large quantity of imperfect
peaches and other fruits that without
the drier must have wasted Run
uing a family size fruit drier may not
open the way to great riches, put ON a
farm where refuse wood is abundant
and perishsble fruit more so, fine
stock of dried fruits may easily and
cheaply be laid up for family use or
for sale. A drier may give useful
employment to many children who
would otherwise fail to find anything
to keep them out of mischief A dime
earned in halliday by boy or girl
a dozen years old, may prove the
weight that turns the balance beam in
their favor for life. 1t is the little
economies, the early habit of saving
the pennies, that make our New En-
gland people what they are. We
should learn to. look upon wasteful-
ness as a sin.-Americun Farmer

old physician and then went to KY. then went
to hot springs and remained two months, but
nothing seemed to cure me permanently, alth-

dttion grew desperate and applied to a noted
quack, but l did not improve. I then used a
preparation which prescribed "grats but
1T contained too much alcohol and aggravated
my sufierings. l then placed myself under the
treatment Of noted Nashville physician and
for time was benefited, but by fall returned

bottle before every ulcer had been healed.
To the present time have used five bottle.

A Courteous Foe.

One man / we'll remember, whose
left hand was bandaged in rags, told
how a large, fine looking rebel officer
charged upon him with his saber point
ed toward his breast. The soldier
raised his arm to ward off the thrust,
and the enemy's sword went through
the palm of his hand as they passed
he raised his carbine, and, turning in
his saddle, shot the retreating foe in
the middle of the back. The rebel
threw his arms up in the air, and cry
ing, "Oh, you Yankee son of gum
rolled out of the saddle dead man.
What gentle training that officer
must have had, who, in the heat of
battle, in his very death agonies, had
nothing more vindictive to say than
"You Yankee son of gum" No an
athena, no profane word, no vile
expletive, but only a phrase that he
might have hurled at mischievous
schoolboy.-Frank BelIea0 n. Mail and

The,Southern Tobacco Journal says ::
The present boom in the price of to-
bacco is the most solid that has been
known to the trade for years. I'm
like the recent squall in the coffee
business the boom in the price of to-
bacco this year is not controlled by
speculation. Very few spectators,
comparatively, have had any idea
that tobacco would make such jump
and their purchases have had little to
do with the rise. The truth of the
matter is that tobacco has been bought
up by the manufacturers. They knew
that it was low and that the time was
an opportune one to get good sup
ply on hand. Hence they have bought
largely all the Spring and have taken
up the bulk of the offerings. Upon
the top of this came the intelligence
of an 1886 crop shortage and in
1887 short acreage-all combining to
make the boom solid Prices are up
high up-and up solidly, and like
ly to remain so for months to come

There was young man who came out to the
Came out from the East that's shop-worn and

And much there occurred that troubled his

But chiefest of these was the broncho he
trusted
For that broncho he bucked, and that broncho
he tore,
He tipped up behind and he reared up before
This self -rising broncho, this rip-snortng
broncho,
This broncho which made the young man SO
disgusted
He mounted the critter to take q short ride
And tried to start off with a Central Park trot
But that broncho had cuSsednesS stored in his
hide,
And mentally whispered he guessed he would
not.
Then he crooked up his back with a terrible
hump,
Got up on his hind legs and proceeded to Jump
And the young man shot through the atmos-
phere-
Away toward the armament calm and clear
Far up among the stars so high,
That nightly wheel athwart the sky:
Up from this world of doubt and care,
Up from where bronchos pitch and tear
This high-fying young man, this sky -scraping
young man,
This young man who mounted the broncho
which seemed hung in the air.

The Will a Partisan Made.
From the Pal MaH Gazette.


There died last year in Paris well known
Partisan who had established a great reputation
for cookery and art. He was very rich and very
eccentric and his tastes, his wealth and his
peculiarities have been emphasized by his will
He was bachelor with many relations, who
had all great expectations and they have been
contrasting the validity of a will which disap
pointed all equally. This testament was varied
by many codicils, in which the benevolence OF
the testator seemed to alternate between the
kitchen, the studio and the stage. By his first
will he left 800, 000f among certain number OF
his friends and constituted as his residuary
legatees the poorest and most miserable French
painters of the day. His mind then seems to
have turned toward the stage, and a codicil OF
1000 was left to the poorest French actors, in
Guiding supers. Then he remembered he had
done nothing for the kindly assuagers of his
hunger. He used to dine great deal at Bre-
bants, and so he left donation OF R20 to each
of the employees of the great restaurant. He
died soon afterward. The viii has been fought
and the litigation is only just concluded. His
good viii toward cookery is respected. The
walters and cooks at Brebant's get each then
820. The rest of the will is imperative.
